There are babies… and there are gifts for babies. The type of gift you give a baby definitely depends on the baby and the parents. I mean, imagine if you had to give baby Suri Cruise a gift. You would have to go to a luxury store like Saks or Neiman Marcus and choose between cashmere, silk, or other terribly expensive materials that are impractical. What matters is haute couture and high prices.

But if you’re more interested in giving meaningful baby gifts, you need to think a little beyond silk gowns (which stain easily) and automated robots (which cost a fortune).

Personalized baby gifts are a great way to greet a precious baby. There are many reasons why personalized baby gifts can win you big points with the baby and her parents. For parents, their new baby is the center of their existence. So they are sure to be excited by any gesture that has the personal happiness of their baby as its objective. For the baby, personalized gifts make great keepsakes, something to be delighted about when they look back after many, many years.

So here are some great personalized baby gift ideas.

Some gifts are universal, which means that all babies need them. Baby blankets and pacifiers are great examples. You can add an extra element of thoughtfulness by personalizing these gifts. For example, how about engraving the baby’s name or date of birth on a soft fleece blanket? Custom pillowcases, funny t-shirts, and wall art are a few other ideas.

If you’re short on time and ideas, gender-specific gifts are some of the best personalized baby gift ideas to keep track of. Gifts for boys are different from gifts for girls. For example, if it’s a girl, you might want to get her a custom monogrammed sweater. Or maybe you want to gift a personalized baby bib with matching burp clothes. Little boys look so cute when they are dressed in shorts and t-shirts with their names on them.

If you want to give something that can be used for a long time, you obviously have to think about more than just clothes and bedding. Babies grow too fast with these things. So Junior or Princess can wear a baby bed, blanket, bib, dress, T-shirt or tracksuit only for a few weeks or 2-3 months (if you’re lucky!). To some, that would seem like a waste of good money. Plus, most babies get a ton of clothes. So one more may not make as much noise.

Personalized baby gifts that last a long time aren’t too hard to find. You just have to think a little more. How about a tote bag to store the toys? You can personalize them by engraving the child’s name. Plus, many companies even offer you different colored bags, so you can have gender-specific bags, if you want. Baby toys, bags, books, bulletin boards, and wall art are gifts with a lot of “life” in them.

Babies are a wonderful gift from nature. They bring sunshine and happiness wherever they go. Therefore, it is only natural that people want to pamper and pamper them to the fullest before the brief years of childhood are completely gone. Personalized baby gifts are a great way to make any baby feel like royalty! So, go ahead and indulge them.
